I think its finished!!!

So here is the deal, finishing Abyzou felt like an awesome feat to me. BUT im not sure if im ready to be done with it or not so I will probably just put it away for a while and pick it back up later to see what i can do to improve it some more.

I started the second part of the Abyzou part, the women she was before or well durring her tragedy, im trying to encorporate who she becomes to sort of unify the pieces together but I have not quite figured out how im going to achieve that. so this weekend thats what i will be working on ;). Overall i think she will be good i dont quite feel like it goes with the dark feel yet but im working on it.

My Devils deeds guy is still at a stand still, and the ideas keep coming of new things i want to do, which means i have lots to do and not alot of time to do it in, I would say that i have at least 3 more works that i need to get the figures straight on and than scan in to bring to the next step. EXCITING i dont think i have had this many ideas at one time before...i think its because im sort of on track with things right now. So for right now im doing good. and workin hard ;) next week is thanksgiving... HURRAY for food that makes me happy :)

Abyzou

Here is the continuation of my Abyzou piece, its getting farther along and im happy with where it is headed, i played around in class with a wacom tablet for the smoke areas, and now im back home without one working up the rest of the smoke... man i wish i was rich. Or at least made of money....i could loose a few pounds if it was money.

I am working with making the smoke glow and cast shadows on the figures, its definately a work in progress but i have been working alot lately with shadows and light spots. I think that my refrence picture taking is finally coming in handy. Im still unsure about the background i changed it again today....but it is an improvment on the last one that is for sure.

I got my scans in the computer finally so i have 1 finished piece 2 started pieces and than 2 more "waiting in the wings". I feel like im really getting somewhere with these ideas and every time i think about it i get more excited about what i can do next! but thats really all i got for now.

Devils Deeds

I figured i would try and post another partially done piece. I worked up a couple more line drawings to scan in for some other pieces. I have been suffering from a lack of motivation especially this last week. I'm slowly working my way out of it i think, but my other classes are suffering. Its hard knowing all you wana mess with is art stuff and so all those other classes mean basically nothing.

I enrolled in my last semester of college today...it was pretty exciting, now next semester i will be completely immersed in the art world, because i will finally be done with general education classes. when im done with my degree i will have a Degree in Commercial Art, with a minor in Multimedia.

Now back to the piece i posted, i have really been working with shadows and more omnious figures which i like, i think it adds something more to what im doing. this particular guy is just a messanger... a creepy one at that. but i wanted to go with the "business" side of the devils working. which i think makes things a little fun also. I have been messing with colors, vibrant amongst the dull to get a harmonious mix of the two. I just felt like posting, i will probably post again later in the week, with POSSIBLY a finished piece ;)

Abyzou

I worked my butt off today to get one of my newer pieces started, I feel like I hit a road block with my devils deeds man, and so I decided I wanted to go back and work up some more of my demonology stuff while I still had the ideas flowing.

Right now I have been focused on Abyzou, she is a female demon blamed for the miscarriages and infant mortality rate. It is said that she is driven by jealousy of pregnant women because she herself was infertile. I wanted to work up two different pieces for her because I feel like I need to give her the benefit of the doubt.

So in the image I started first I depicted her in the way that other saw her, as a baby snatcher in a sense. I see her as someone who steals away in the night to ruin your happiness over your child.

In the second piece however I want to depict her as a human, maybe before she was dammed to hell, as a distraught woman who longs to have a baby of her own. In my belief I like to think that she was not always so evil, and wanted to try and give her a softer side.

Well I posted up my first part of the two and its very rough at this point but so far im happy with my progress. I also have my second one worked up in tracing paper ready to be scanned in I will post that soon.
